Summary
At least two teenage suspects were detained over a car bombing in southwestern Moscow, where investigators said a scientific production enterprise employee was targeted and no one was hurt.
Russian investigators said unidentified people persuaded a teenage girl to collect the bomb, then gave it to a teenage boy who placed it on the car with a GPS tracker.
A second car bomb in eastern Moscow exploded the same day; Kommersant reported 1 driver was killed, while the Kremlin said details could not be disclosed during the investigation.
The suspects in the southwestern case have been charged, but it remains unclear whether any arrests were made over the eastern blast.
Since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv's military intelligence has claimed several assassinations of senior Russian officers, some drawn from a public enemies list.
